Interesting. Is there some sort of issue with a clone I don't know about?

Open ended question and I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong but from my experience, a cloned drive can have difficulty recognizing hardware. I am sure the software they have running now is probably much better now then a few years ago. What are using to clone the drive, Norton Ghost??
A fresh install is always a better choice in my opinion as long as you have the software that you need. Kind of like the while your in there rule when working on the P-car.
The idea behind the clone in my opinion is for setting up multiple machines with the same hardware, you install everything on one and then clone the drives and every machine has the exact same O/S and programs.
Heck, give it shot and if it works great, if it doesn't you can do clean install and your exisitng drive will still be fine.
